"Sh*t, I just want to get better. Thats what pushed me to do it, and it worked well" Chauncey Billups and other NBA stars on acupuncture -…
Posted: at 12:09 pm
Chauncey Billups
Winslow Townson - USA TODAY Sports
The last thing every NBA star would want to happen is injuries. Whether minor or major, an injury is a headache for the players and the teams. Over the years, an array of rehabilitation procedures emerged to speed up the recovery of NBA players, and apparently, some of them rely on acupuncture, a famous alternative medicine treatment from China.
The late Kobe Bryant, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, and Charles Barkley were among the NBA legends who reportedly used acupuncture during their active years in the league. Shaquille ONeal first used it in 2002 to aid a big toe injury and once again for hamstring pain.
Ill get some acupuncture and get rid of it, ONeal said via Hoopshype. Ive always been a connoisseur of ancient medicine.
Aside from ONeal, former Detroit Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups had also been a supporter of acupuncture. The 2004 NBA Finals MVP said he used the traditional medicine while recovering from his torn Achilles in 2012. And even though Billups admitted that he wasnt fond of needles and stuff, he tried it. Surprisingly, it helped ease the pain, and after several weeks, he could do leg workouts again.
Scroll to Continue
I tried it and it did work really well, Billups told Hoopshype in 2017. It helped the swelling and took some of the pain away, so it became a weekly thing for me for a while. I dont love needles, but I was at the point where I was like, Sh*t, I just want to get better. Thats what pushed me to do it, and it worked well. Im not going to lie, it was pretty cool.
Eleven-year NBA veteran Jared Jeffries had the same experience with acupuncture. According to Jeffries, he had been hearing some positive feedback about it, so he gave it a shot. And like Billups, Jeffries was surprised that it worked.
It was for my knee, and Id heard that it would help certain muscles around my knee relax, Jeffries said. I went to see an acupuncturist when I was in Washington and I liked it. I was looking for an alternative way to relieve pain and loosen the muscles, and it worked.
Billups went on and refuted the famous belief that needles hurt. More importantly, Mr. Big Shot recommends it to his fellow athletes.
The only reason Id recommend it is because Ive seen it work for me, he added. Its not like Ive read about it or heard about, Ive seen it work. I helped me through my Achilles recovery, so I would definitely recommend it.
Whether its your favorite NBA superstar raving about acupuncture, theres only one way to find out if it really works. And that is to go out there and try it.

Bob Newhart Proves 93 Is the New 39 – Eat This, Not That
Posted: September 29, 2022 at 1:32 am
Laughter is the best kind of medicine, which means one thing. Bob Newhart has played a major role in spreading good vibesthroughout his 93 years on earth, and this elf keeps bringing on the laughs. The actor, comedian, and "all around nice guy" tweeted the day after his birthday on September 6, "Thank you to everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes! 93 is the new 39," and you best believe it! Fans replied with comments that show all the love, with one writing, "Thank you for all the joy you have broughtand continue to bring!" Keep reading to learn more about the "Elf" star.
When we say that Bob Newhart has been good for the well-being of his many fans, it's no exaggeration. Science says that laughter is the best medicine. In fact, a study published inthe Journal of Epidemiology proves just that. Researchers observed the association between a dose of laughter each day with stroke and heart disease. The 20,934 participants consisted of elderly Japanese men and women. The study reveals that the participants who hardly or never laughed experienced a 1.21 higher instance of heart disease and a 1.6 higher instance of stroke than those participants who enjoyed a good chuckle.
That's not the only thinglaughter has been proven to bring so much other goodness spiritually, socially, physiologically, and psychologically, according to a review published in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine.

Bob Newhart was born on September 5, 1929, and actually started out on a very different path at Loyola University Chicago, PEOPLE reports. Majoring in business management, the giver of laughs worked as an accountant before pursuing his life in comedy, according to The CPA Journal. The comedian became popular in 1960 with his best-selling album entitled The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, which is filled with the star's comical monologues. "It just took off beyond anyone's, especially my expectations. And it still isaccording to Billboardthe 20th best-selling album of all time," Newhart reveals (via NPR).

Bob Newhart tells PEOPLE when reminiscing his start in the spotlight, "Being onstage took all the bravado I had, pretending like I knew what I was doing." By the way, the Newhart Family Theater at Loyola University is a beautiful tribute to the hilarious 93-year-old former graduate. He performed with all of the big names in comedy and more, including Carol Burnett, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Danny Thomas, Johnny Carson, Betty White, Ben Stiller, and Jim Parsons. He also played the role of Papa Elf in "Elf," alongside Will Ferrell. Newhart starred in "The Big Bang Theory," which he won an Emmy for, along with "The Bob Newhart Show," "Newhart," and so much more family entertainment.
Another fun fact? Newhart reveals to Esquire he wasn't "that obvious" about his humor when growing up, saying, "I wasn't the class clown. I wasn't that obvious. There would be a circle of guys and they're watching the class clown. And I'm standing in the back, and I turn to the guy next to me and I say something funny to him, and he starts to laugh. And the guy next to him says, 'What did he say?'"
The star has been married to his wife, Ginny Newhart, for over 58 years. The Newharts have four children, and the star tells CBS the secret to their happy marriage is to laugh, explaining, "There's something about laughter, and the longevity of a marriage." Newhart also places much love into friendships. One of his closest friends was the legendary comic Don Rickles. The two even shared holidays together with their families, according to Nicki Swift.
Philanthropy is also very important to Newhart, and the comedian has raised $350,000 to benefit the National Children's Cancer Society, according to Ladue News. The 93-year-old has no intention of slowing down, telling Forbes, "I fell in love with the sound of laughter 61 years ago." He enjoys the rush, remarking, "It's a sound I wanted to keep hearing. It's one of the great sounds in the world, I'm serious. I think it's true. The mail I get, you become part of people's lives. It's just great to make people laugh."6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

Medical cannabis could be better alternative to opioids in managing pain – The Tribune India
Posted: at 1:32 am
ANI
Washington, September 28
A new study of thousands of patients has concluded that medical cannabis could be an important alternative to opioids for pain management.
The research, published in the peer-reviewed journal Substance Use and Misuse, found that people reported being in less pain and could function better physically and socially, after using medical cannabis.
It also found that the majority of those who had been taking oxycodone, codeine and other opioids to treat their pain were able to stop or reduce them via using medical cannabis.
The results indicate that, used under proper medical supervision, medical cannabis - cannabis and cannabis-based medicines - could reduce opioid use in certain individuals. This may help to alleviate the opioid epidemic in the US, though more research is needed.
Opioids are effective painkillers but are they are also highly addictive.
Drug overdose deaths involving opioids (prescription and non-prescription, such as heroin) have increased more than eight-fold since 1999 in the US, with more than 550,000 deaths from 1999 to 2020.
Although the US is at the centre of opioid crisis, the issue is an increasing public health concern in other countries, including the UK, Sweden and Australia.
The use of medical cannabis is now legal in the majority of states in the US and patients are increasingly using it instead of opioids to control pain.
However, research into the viability of substituting medical cannabis for opioids is limited.
To find out more, researchers from Emerald Coast Research, a contract research organisation based in Florida, and Florida State University College of Medicine, carried out a detailed survey of medical cannabis users shortly after its medical use was legalised in the state.
The 2,183 participants had a range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, chronic pain, depression, insomnia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Most were using medical cannabis daily.
Answers to the 66-question survey revealed that most of the participants (90.6%) found medical cannabis to be very or extremely helpful in treating their medical condition and most (88.7%) said it was very or extremely important to their quality of life.
Levels of pain improved in 85.9% of participants. Some 84% said that health problems weren't interfering with their normal social activities as much as before and more than half said physical activities, from housework to running, weren't as difficult as they had been.
The majority of participants (68.7%) experienced at least one side-effect, the most common of which were dry mouth, increased appetite and drowsiness.
Most (61%) of the participants were taking opioids before being prescribed medical cannabis, with many (70.5%) taking them for at least two years.
Further analysis found that 79% of those who had been taking opioids were able to stop or reduce them.
The number of participants taking hydrocodone with acetaminophen (paracetamol) and oxycodone with acetaminophen, the two most commonly used opioids in the study, fell five-fold.
Some 11.47% reported improved functioning better in daily life.
The study's authors, two of whom have financial or business links to a medical cannabis company, say that their results indicate that medical cannabis can be used instead of opioids to manage pain, without harming health.
"A large number of people feel the need to take opioid pain medication," says researcher Carolyn Pritchett, a neuroscientist and biological psychologist. "If there's the option to instead use a medicine with less harmful side-effects, including a lower risk of overdose and death, then it should perhaps be considered. But more research, including studies that follow patients over time, is needed before substituting opioid painkillers for medical cannabis becomes commonplace." Dr Pritchett adds that it is vital the use of medical cannabis for pain relief is medically supervised. "Like any other medicine with side-effects, patients should be regularly monitored and assessed for adverse events, abuse disorder and other issues," she says.
The study's limitations include the use of self-selected participants. The participants also filled in the survey retrospectively and so may have been subject to recall bias.

Woman killed by herbal remedies she took to treat arthritis – Evening Standard
Posted: at 1:32 am
A
north London woman suffered liver failure and died after she was given herbal remedies to try to treat her arthritis, an inquest has found.
Seema Pravin Haribhai, 37, shunned conventional medication in favour of alternative therapies when she was struggling with increasingly debilitating skin inflammation and joint pains.
She was given an array of herbal based remedies by a practitioner in Ayurveda, an ancient Indian form of alternative healthcare.
But when the treatment began to cause liver failure, the practitioner failed to realise the remedies she had prescribed were the cause. She did not tell Ms Haribhai to stop taking the herbal remedies and also did not raise the alarm for urgent medical attention.
Ms Haribhai eventually sought the help of a GP, who failed to realise her life was in danger causing a ten-day delay before she was finally admitted to hospital.
In a report after the inquest at St Pancras coroners court, coroner Mary Hassell laid out how Ms Haribhai died as a direct result of the alternative remedies.
Seema Haribhai suffered with psoriatic arthritis that was becoming increasingly disabling, she said.
She was concerned at the potential effects of conventional medication and so consulted an Ayurvedic practitioner, who prescribed an array of herbal based remedies.
She took these, developed liver failure as a consequence, and died some weeks later.
Ms Hassell said the unnamed practitioner, who prescribed the medicines that killed Seema Haribhai, gave evidence that she had undertaken six years of study before practising Ayurvedic medicine.
But in a scathing assessment, the coroner said: When she first discovered that her patient had developed a yellow discolouration, whilst she recognised that the liver was probably responsible, she did not recognise that the cause might be her own prescription.
She did not advise the only course of action with the potential to save Seema Haribhais life: an immediate cessation of all the herbal remedies.
Even when she gave evidence in court, the Ayurvedic practitioner did not seem to canvass the possibility that the medicines she had prescribed could have caused harm.
She had at one stage advised her patient to have a routine blood test, but she had not at any stage advised immediate attendance at a hospital emergency department.
It appears from the evidence I heard in court that Ayurvedic practitioners do not necessarily have the possible complications of Ayurvedic treatment as part of their routine frame of reference. All medicines can cause harm, even those that are herbal based.
The coroner has provided details of the remedies taken by Ms Haribhai to the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, and has also highlighted to the Department of Health that Ayurvedic practitioners are not in any way regulated.
Even those who are members of the Ayurvedic Professionals Association (APA) receive as little as two hours of continuing professional development training per annum, she said.
The medicines prescribed by Ayurvedic practitioners are manufactured abroad. I did not hear evidence of any quality control.
The APA describes Ayurveda as a holistic system of medicine which originated in India thousands of years ago, combining detox, massage, warm oils, dietary changes, as well as herbal treatments, for health and wellness in an increasingly stressful world.
When Ms Haribhai made an appointment with her GP on November 5, she was already suffering from yellow skin and eyes and had a consultation over the phone when she was asked to send in a picture of her face.
The coroner found the GP failed to record details of Ms Haribhais ailments and did not ask her to come to the surgery for a physical examination. He also failed to tell her to stop taking herbal remedies.
Blood tests were carried out and an appointment with the GP was booked for November 15. However a nurse at a routine rheumatology appointment on the same day immediately noticed the abnormal blood test results and sent Ms Haribhai straight to hospital. She died on December 18 last year.
The coroner ruled that Ms Haribhai died as a consequence of the administration of Ayurvedic medicines intended to treat psoriatic arthritis, recording the causes of death as sepsis, recurrent intestinal ischaemia, and idiosyncratic Ayurvedic drug induced liver injury.
The coroners report has been sent to the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, the Ayurvedic Professionals Association, the Department of Health and Social Care, and her GP centre in Belmont, Harrow.

King Charles III Has a History of Promoting ‘Quackery’ Alternative Medicine – Newsweek
Posted: September 9, 2022 at 5:41 pm
Before he became Britain's monarch, King Charles III faced criticism over the years for promoting alternative medical therapies and treatments.
In 2019 for example, he received pushback for becoming a patron of the Faculty of Homeopathy.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, homeopathy "believes that using extremely minute diluted amounts of plants and minerals can help the body repair itself by promoting healing." Though popular, the Cleveland Clinic says that "there's no strong evidence for homeopathy's effectiveness greater than a placebo."
"We have been reminded only recently that plenty of homeopaths claim to be able to treat autism and discourage vaccination," Michael Marshall, of the Good Thinking Societya nonprofit organization that is self-described as "pro-evidence" and dedicated to combating "pseudoscience"said in 2019, according to The Guardian.
"If Prince Charles wants to have a genuine positive effect on the health of the nation he intends to one day rule, he should side against those who offer dangerously misleading advice, rather than fighting their corner," Marshall added.
Edzard Ernst, a former professor of complementary medicine at Exeter University, has frequently criticized King Charles III, writing a book about the royal's support of alternative medicine entitled Charles, the Alternative Prince: An Unauthorised Biography.
"Prince Charles contributes to the ill-health of the nation by pretending we can all over-indulge, then take his tincture and be fine again," Ernst said in 2009, according to Reuters. "Under the banner of holistic and integrative healthcare he thus promotes a 'quick fix' and outright quackery," Ernst added.
In a statement published by CNN in 2019 when King Charles III became the patron of the Faculty of Homeopathy, a spokesperson for the royal said the then-prince "believes that safe and effective, complementary medicine can play an important role in healthcare systems, as long as approaches are integrated with conventional treatments, a position he has reached after years of talking to experts in many different areas of medicine."
Newsweek has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.
The BBC reported in 2014 that an ex-cabinet minister claimed then-Prince Charles had asked him to press Welsh officials to add complementary medicine to the U.K.'s National Health Service.
"He had been constantly frustrated at his inability to persuade any health ministers anywhere that that was a good idea, and so he, as he once described it to me, found me unique from this point of view, in being somebody that actually agreed with him on this, and might want to deliver it," the former cabinet minister Peter Hain said, according to the BBC.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, complementary medicine "is a term used to describe types of treatments you may receive along with traditional Western medicine."
The BBC noted that a report commissioned by King Charles III that was published in 2005 found that the use of complementary therapies should be expanded within the National Health Service.
King Charles III became Britain's monarch after Queen Elizabeth II died Thursday at the age of 96. After his mother's death, the king said that he wants members of the royal family to observe official royal mourning for a week following her funeral.

Save for the green leaves of a black olive tree, the interior of Remedy Place New York is completely gray. The spaces monochromatic scheme isnt a style statement. In fact, its the opposite. In color psychology, the ashen shade represents neutrality and balancewhich also happens to mirror the ethos of Remedy Place.
Founded by Dr. Jonathan Leary, Remedy Place is a social wellness club. ( Let Leary himself define that for you: Its a club that is temptation and toxin-free, that enhances health and social life at the same time.) Theres no gym equipment, massage tables, or beauty offerings. Instead, theres an extensive array of holistic treatments. Facilities include an infrared light sauna, acupuncture and cupping rooms, cryo chambers, hyperbaric chambers (theyre different!), and ice baths, just to name a few.
IV Suites, where two guests can lay facing each other.
Some experiences are solitary, but many can be done with friends. For example, those aforementioned ice baths are offered in group classes, where an instructor guides attendees through 10 minutes of holotropic breathwork followed by six minutes submerged in 38-degree water. Meanwhile, the vitamin IV suites are arranged so two people can sit facing each other while taking intramuscular B-12 shots.
Leary, who has his doctorate in chiropractic and alternative medicine, developed Remedy Place while he was a concierge doctor in Los Angeles. His practice catered to those seeking a non-surgical approach to chronic pain rehabilitation and attracted an impressive clientele of celebrities, CEOs, and pro-athletes.
